How does the P7 compare to BO H6? I have large ears and get really hot quick with pressure. Am I better of with the H6?

Great question. My wife has the H6 and I have the P7s. The P7 definitely has a stronger clamping force on the head and they definitely feel more insular than the H6. That said, if you have large ears be aware that my ears fit better in the P7 than the H6 due to the rectangular shape of the ear cup. Definitely would suggest putting a pair of H6s on your head before deciding. Both are amazing headphones and you won't go wrong with either relative to sound quality. Now that both are fully burned in, they are equally excellent, albeit with slightly different sound signatures.

I can't say for sure but as the Beyers tend to be a bit 'bright' I'd say the h6 would be fine. Mids on the Beyers are more forward but overal sound of the H6 is more flat and balanced.

My husband owns these and he has a big head (hat size 7 5/8) and they fit him just fine. I don't see any mention of it the foam on the reference being memory, like on the premium. I also don't see where the reference would come with a case like the premium. It looks like the sound is the difference they are emphasizing saying it will be more "concert like" with the reference headphones. My husband used to DJ and loves his premium headphones. He uses them with just his iPhone or iPod Touch, so I think that it could all be relative depending on what you want to use the headphones for. Hope this answer helps.

I have them both. These sound better but don't clamp as hard or fit my head as well. The decreased clamping makes them more comfortable but they leak more sound out and don't isolate as well from outside sounds. I kind of like the 280's for drowning outside noises.

No. The Beoplay H6 sounds tinny, and would not be a good choice for professional studio work. Sorry.

Hello, I am about to purchase these for use in my cell phone (palm pre). I listen to music (streaming radio and mp3's) all day while at work. I work in a 10x10 cubicle with high walls. Is the sound leaking high enough that it may bother my co-workers? I do not listen to music very loud because I have tennitus which loud noises aggrivates. Also do you have any experience using these with 128kbps sound files? I know that is low, but it is what most streaming music is sent in. Thanks,

I've worn both of these actually. And I've found the M50X's to be amazingly good for the price. They're extremely comfortable, and they're a good choice overall. Nonetheless, the P5's get the edge. The sound is neutral on both of them, but the P5's sound is a bit more nuanced, and true to the source material. (And if you're looking for something with thumping bass, neither of these are your friend - I'd look at beats for that). The P5's are also much more "luxurious". The padding, the presentation, and the details - everything is a step up, albeit at a heftier price tag. I would definitely recommend trying both out at a store if you can - it's a close one.

I have a pair of PMX70s and I too wanted an upgrade. I made the mistake of getting the PMX680s which sound like crap--don't waste your money on the 680s! At this point, I'm going to try the PMX90s which are probably not the best for sweaty runners, but for $22 shipped I don't mind giving them a shot. Plus I have an extra set of non-foam pads from my HD25-1 IIs which I will retrofit onto the PMX90 drivers.

Tyll Hertsens revues both the NADs & the B&Ws; at InnerFidelity.com. The NADs hit the "Wall of Fame" while the P7 does not. Read the reviews there and you'll probably decide to go with the HP50s. These are both great sets of Over-The-Ear Full-Sized-Sealed Cans, and they are both beauties... but in the end I would go with the NAD HP50s.

Kae, I haven't heard the DT-770, but what I can tell you is the Beoplay H6 is a polar opposite of all consumer headphones on the market (beats and bose etc) they are VERY bass lite and are amazingly well balanced. They are not "clinical" or overly bright, they just sound right. It is the recordings pureness that defines the sound with these. There is no coloring or tilt to the sound. I can compare them to my custom UE-4pros and they share a very close sound signature!! I would suggest that you try them out and return them to amazon if you don't like the sound. I give these a 5/5 for sound!!!

Night and day. I too have the 535's, and I too find them uncomfortable; they just don't fit my ears. The 846's are a world of difference. When the 846's are inserted properly, you can hardly tell they are in, and they provide (for me at least) the best seal of any I have used. They are big compared with the 535's, but the fit is totally different.

The noise reduction with these is better than the tactical sport version. I have compared them side by side as a friend has the TS model. I regularly shoot at an indoor pistol range and the Pro model works very well. My friend "doubles up" using foam ear plugs in addition to the TS model shooting indoors. I think the extra cost is worth the additional protection.

if you are looking for plane use i would not suggest this headphone as the isolation is low. you will be better off getting a close Can design or a active noise cancellation set. If you use it on a quite place, then this headphone sound wonderful. As for Ohm rating, what do you use to power the headphone? if you are using direct from you HP, MP3 player or direct from the airplane jack, you should buy the 32 OHM version. else you can try the 600 OHM if you have an amp

I don't know for Sony but concerning B&W P7 that I purchased a few month ago , if sound quality is good , external noises insulation is poor and after less than 1 hour I feel pain on ears , because of weight of headphone sets and pressure on ears due to metalic frame ! So not very comfortable in fact !

Sorry I can;t really help you out there, I have never used the Beyerdynamic's DT-770. I would be interested in hearing your input on the H6. The ones I had really stunk. I'm beginning to wonder if they were defective, and they never tested them. Seems pretty lame for B&O; to not test them. I can't imagine anyone using them for anything beyond a door stop.

I purchased the bamboo case P4s . they sound very good. The cases are almost perfectly stiff. The Vinyl cases might not be as stiff, especially at high sound levels. This is only a theory, I have never listened to the black speakers to see if ther is actually a difference, but i have noticed this in other speakers i have listened to.

He-he :) It's depend on your ears and climate mostly. I have a really big head, so after 2-5 hours my DT770 fits and feels not warm but too tightly.
